They are calling to try to sell you an extended warranty for your car. Somehow they gather information on the year and model of the car you drive along with your name. They called me today. My car is less than four moths old and my wife's car is less than two years old. They said they're calling because my warranty is about to expire!
I can block up to 250 numbers. After their last call, I only have 168 left!
9/12/14 mid day - 2 calls from 312-724-5214 2 hours apart. !st call had Vchicle SVC Caller ID, 2nd call had a garbage Caller ID. My call blocker dumped each call after just 1 ring.
* DEFEAT HARASSMENT AND ROBO CALLERS!! CALL BLOCKERS WORK!!

I research the number then post this msg every time a robo number calls. NEVER press X to opt out, because it just adds your name to multiple robo calling list sales.

The phone companies will do nothing to stop the harassment/robo calls. They want the income from all of those robo call companies. The federal no-call list is a joke - the government does nothing. Local police do not have the manpower or technology to track/block these calls. Most robo callers are criminals/scammers. Here is a one-time relatively low cost way to beat those harassment/robo calls.

I have now defeated >90% of harassment and robo calls including "CARD SVC". I went on-line to Amazon and purchased an in-line "CPR CALL BLOCKER"! It has an inventory of up to 1200 numbers in your call blocker list. You must be careful in setting up the list or you will get unexpected blockages of your valid incoming calls. Start by blocking all harassment calls using caller ID’s of UNAVAILABLE, PRIVATE, or WITHHELD. So far I have also blocked many robo area codes which have no friends or relatives - 212, 231, 305, 312, 321, 347, 360, 516, 518, 630, 650, 708, 740, 773, and 970. To block robo calls from areas with friends and family, DO NOT block the area code, use ONLY complete (area code with phone number) 10 digit number inputs to the harassing number blocking list. Add numbers to the list when a new robo or harassment caller gets through! Never use 7 digit inputs to the blocking list or you will have problems! Keep a complete written list of area codes and individual numbers of your blocking list. A small glitch when entering a number into the blocking list can mess up your entire blocking list requiring a hardware reset and complete reprogramming of the list.

Harassment and robo callers can also use a technique called spoofing which creates a phony incoming caller ID on your phone. This spoofer APP is readily available and frequently used for harassment/robo calls. Routine updates of your call blocker list still works fairly well against this robo call tactic.

There are many other brands of call blockers than the one I have described. Choose one of the call blockers and BLOCK THOSE HARASSMENT CALLS!!!!!

It is really great fun watching my call blocker light-up and then hang-up when the harassment/robo caller ID matches the blocking list!!! I especially enjoy it when the call blocker hangs up on a persistent harassment caller!!! Take back your telephone from harassment/robo callers!!!!
